It’s NotAlwaysSunny

It's Not Always Sunny (INAS) is a grassroots anti-stigma campaign seeking to listen for and honor the ways Philadelphians handle themselves on rainy days, when strategies of creative resilience show up in the lives of those facing the worst precarity in our city.

Crowdsourcing Alternative Care Spaces

We
are crowdsourcing spaces of non-traditional mental health care in Philadelphia. Do you have spaces in which you feel have a positive effect on your mental
wellbeing?
We invite you to take an anonymous 3 question survey here.
The data gathered will form the basis for a web-based mapping tool that
individuals can use to seek out alternative spaces of care.

QualitativeResearch Initiative

In collaboration with 15 UPenn master students, we conducted qualitative interviews and focus groups to better understand how mental health information is shared across providers and mental health navigators in Philadelphia. The collaboration produced a forthcoming publication entitled: Institutional Shadow Bodies As Tools for Mental Health Care Information Seeking.
